Safer Schools have made us aware of children being groomed on 'Dangerous Chatrooms' with risks of sexual exploitation.
Omegle is a free anonymous online chatroom where users are randomly paired with strangers to chat via video call or instant messaging. It is popular, despite no longer having its own app, and is primarily accessed on a web browser.
Videos showcasing Omegle chats have popped up on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, which have added to its popularity with children and young people.
Living in a digital world that erases distance between online strangers, the thought of being able to talk to anyone from anywhere might be exciting to a child or young person.
More detailed information is in the National Online Safety Omegle parent guide which can be found in the e-safety section of our website.
